What condition do I need to use to stop a macro when no value is returned?
In the querie there is no empty box, just the field names, and the form
relating to it appears blank?

I have various conditional macros in my DB to verify the integrity of the
data. I set the repeat count high to make sure it completes, and put a
condition that when a null value is returned from the query, usually in a
form, the macro stops. This means even if I put a repeat count of 100 it
will only repeat as many times as there are records to change.

However, and this is my question, when some queries are completed, say one
that looks for a null value in one table where there is a value in another,
they show no value at all. This works fine in Access but when I put my
tables on a server in SQL it doesnt read the blank form as a null, and
repeats the full number of times.

Hope someone can help,

Stu

You could use:
IsNull(DLookup("MyIdField", "MyQuery"))

Looking up the primary key value returns null if there are no records in the
query.
